Killer Elite is a 2011 thriller starring Jason Statham as a former hitman who is forced to complete a mission or else his kidnapped mentor will be executed. The film co-stars Clive Owen, Yvonne Strahovski, Dominic Purcell, and Robert De Niro. Despite the similar name, this film is not a remake of the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film The Killer Elite. It is based on the novel "The Feather Men" (1991) by Sir Ranulph Fiennes (who is the cousin of actors Ralph Fiennes and Joseph Fiennes).
The following weapons were used in the film Killer Elite:
Handguns
Browning Hi-Power
Spike (Clive Owen) is seen threatening Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) with a Browning Hi-Power as well as other Feather Men.
Heckler & Koch P7M13
A Heckler & Koch P7M13 is carried by the MI6 man (David Whiteley) when he attempts to ambush Spike (Clive Owen) and Bryce (Jason Statham), until it is taken during the fighting and used by Spike
Beretta 92SB
Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) uses a Beretta 92SB during several scenes, including the tunnel chase in Oman.
Beretta 92FS
Danny Bryce (Jason Statham) is also seen with a 92FS in Mexico and in London, this is highly anachronistic as the movie is set in 1980. On the movie poster, Spike (Clive Owen) is seen chambering one but he never used one in the movie.
High Standard Sharpshooter M
Hunter (Robert De Niro) uses a High Standard Sharpshooter M while at a train station in Paris.
Glock 17
Hunter uses a Glock 17 he took from from his captors in Oman. The present of Glock is anachronistic because it is 1981 and the Glocks won't come out for another year.
M1911A1
After running out of ammunition for the Glock, Hunter switches to a M1911A1-type pistol with blonde wood grips. One of the targets, Harris (Lachy Hulme), is later seen giving a M1911A1 for his girl to fire during a party.
SIG-Sauer P226
The Agent (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) has a SIG-Sauer P226 in his waistband, which Danny takes when forcing him to divulge some information. Davies (Dominic Purcell) wields a P226 during the desert tunnel chase. The weapon is another anachronism, since the P226 was developed after 1980, the year in which the film is set.
Smith & Wesson Model 27
Meier (Aden Young) uses a stainless or nickel plated snubnosed revolver throughout the film.
Shotguns
Remington 870
Anne (Yvonne Strahovski) is seen firing a Remington 870 into the air during a New Year's Eve celebration in Australia, based on the magazine tube cap that can be seen briefly in a close-up.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
One of the Sheikh's sons carries a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 in a flashback.
Rifles
Colt M727
Hunter (Robert De Niro) uses what appears to be a Colt Model 727 during the introduction scene in Mexico.
Norinco Type 56
Omani rebels fighting during the Dhofar Rebellion are seen with Norinco Type 56 rifles.
L1A1 SLR
SAS commandos training in the Brecon Beacons, including Major Warren Steven Cregg (Grant Bowler) carry L1A1 rifles.
IMI Galil SAR
Hunter (Robert De Niro) can be seen carrying a scoped Galil SAR SAR in the end of the movie. He took off the scope during the car chase.
AKMSU
One of the sheikh's guards in Oman carries an AKMSU.
Unknown rifle
During the desert tunnel chase, Martin (Ben Mendelsohn), one of the ex-SAS "Locals", can be seen wielding a .22 caliber rifle fitted with a wire stock.
